#FRIDAY’S SPIRITUAL NUGGETS# IT’S NOT TIME; IS IT?

What are the issues we have to face when the membranes of our dreams are prematurely ruptured?

Ecclesiastes 3:1
There's an opportune time to do things, a right time for everything on the earth:
Very often, we are eager to display our gifts, our talents and the dreams inherent in us.
In the process, it is indeed possible to ignorantly or over-zealously do things that would culminate in the premature births of our hearts’ progeny. Unfortunately, prematurity is indeed one of the greatest contributors to the mortality accrued to both fetuses and goals.
When it ain’t time, one of these might just hasten the death of one’s dreams:
1    1.    FORCE:
“A right time to wage war and another to make peace.” (Eccl 3:8b)
Many times, we think if we’re forceful enough, our dreams will come to pass. But have we considered our environment, the timing?
Sometimes, it’s not force that would bring us to the limelight in our chosen paths, patience might just be needed to mature us. And if we proceed to use traumatic methods, we just might prematurely puncture the egos of our dreams.

2    2.    UNPREPAREDNESS:
 “A right time to plant and another to reap,” (Eccl 3:2b)
While some use force, some of us would rather sit still and wait in belated hope. A weak, unprepared cervix is a good predictor of premature birth; so is an unprepared mind.
The unprepared individual has forgotten that it isn’t all who have had dreams that have birthed something that had breath; thus he just might join the company of those who birth un-living things!

3    3.    WRONG CONTENT:
“A right time to destroy and another to construct,” (Eccl 3:3b)
When the abdomen of a pregnant woman is distended with mostly amniotic fluid and less of a fetus, it seems like an overwhelming burden to bear- giving the wrong impression that the due date of delivery is near.
Any wonder that there’s spillage of some fluid?
It’s not just about the design of your concept, it’s about the content.
Fab designs might fetch us jobs, but it is only content that can keep us in place and always relevant.

So while we are at it, be it watering our dreams or even dreaming up more dreams, let’s pay cognizance- even if it’s a little- to the timing @ which we launch our ‘products’ into the grand market of life. Timing, is everything!

What are your thoughts on timing as regards dream-launching?

 EPISODE 3 ‘Oya sorry now, we’re almost there.’ Felix kept saying as he partially carried his dear friend.  She wouldn’t hear the last of this episode once it was over, that much he knew! ‘Awww…you don’t know how painful awww… this is’ ‘Sorry, sorry’ ; he kept saying So they eventually got to the ER and after pulling out her card, used ‘medical student connection’ to see the resident that was on call in Internal Medicine unit. ‘Hello dear’ , Dr. Brown said, looking keenly at the girl that was almost doubled over in pain ‘I think you should lie down on that couch’ ‘What exactly is the problem?’ ‘She just started complaining about her abdomen about half an hour ago’ ‘Oh’. ‘Can you point to where exactly the pain started?’ he asked ‘Here’ . Linda pointed to the area around her umbilicus. ‘Have you had any episode of vomiting?’ ‘No sir’ Felix answered spontaneously. ‘You must be her boyfriend, right?’ Dr.Brown asked, with a mischievious grin ...

EPISODE 5 ‘So, really, whose patient is she?’ Doctor Afuarida asked with impatience written all over his face Bola indicated, her body language reeking of timidity, ‘Sir, she was supposed to be my patient, but I haven’t been able to clerk her’ ‘Oh, really? She was supposed to be?’ ‘Do you even have any other patient on the ward?’ ‘Ehm…no sir. But my other patient has just been discharged’ ‘Please, leave my ward round. You are obviously unprepared to truly learn the art of medicine.’ She knew better than to plead and therefore, walked out with the little dignity she still had left. He continued lecturing the rest of the students ‘You know, whatever you do now will speak later in life and especially in your medical career. If you want to be a good doctor, it definitely begins from now- taking responsibility’ Dr.Amao, please give me a summary on this patient ’22 year old female, had appendectomy done. 1 st day post-op. Mild pain at op-site. Currently on IV Met...

CHRONICLES OF A NIGERIAN PHYSIOTHERAPIST by 'Bola Abioye

EPISODE FIVE ‘Mum, who called you this time again?’ I finally asked. ‘Oh… Charles, that’s what matters to you now right. What matters to you is if it’s Prophet Jabesh or Prophet Judas that called me?’ Then I burst into laughter. I can’t help but wonder why these prophets must bear names as Judas, Jabesh…if you know, you know. Then she changed it for me straight up. ‘Charles, why exactly are you laughing? You know I get scared anytime you get close to that girl and you know that I am at the risk of having stroke with the way my blood pressure rises in little situations.’ There she goes again. My mum gets little information on health precautions and that’s the end. We hear nothing else save what she has learnt in the house for about at least a month. She subscribes to all sorts of health tips on her network and then tries to confirm her newly found information from me. She has several facts on why eating eba, using an onion bulb that has been cut once and use...
